The matrix A=(1−113)A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\1&3\end{pmatrix} has a repeated eigenvalue λ\lambda with eigenvector v=(1−1)\mathbf v=\begin{pmatrix}1\\-1\end{pmatrix}. A generalized eigenvector w\mathbf w satisfies (A−λI)w=v(A-\lambda I)\mathbf w=\mathbf v; one such vector has the form w=(0k)\mathbf w=\begin{pmatrix}0\\k\end{pmatrix}. Find kk.
